Women’s History Month: USA’s Olympic Champion Katie Moon Shares Her Insights on Conquering Fear

In a recent woman-to-woman series, with Ari Chambers, the reigning Olympic gold medalist at pole vault and a 2x World Champion, Katie Moon took the baton in her hands to explain the atrocities of not being in the right mindset while setting out to achieve their goals. She advised the woman athletes to not fear their fears but to come out of their comfort zones to clinch their names in their respective fields.

Keeping in mind her collaboration with the USATF, Katie Moon acquainted her audience with some prized enlightenment from her experiences. Encouraging her fellow woman athletes with her invaluable advice on the occasion of ‘Women’s History Month’, she geared up to publicly talk about her struggles, challenges, and all-time motivation to stay at the top.

One step at a time is the key, per Olympic gold medalist

Team USA’s official Instagram handle posted Katie’s thoughts with the caption, “Just go for it“. In the Woman-to-Woman series, the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the pole vault of Team USA, Katie Moon tells woman athletes to face their fears and, “Just count to three and go.” She then comes back and adds, “Or don’t even count, just do it. It’s scary, and it’s big, but take that step and take it one step at a time. Pretty cool things can happen if you just believe.”

Katie Moon also believes that she takes sport as her additional self and that its success does not determine who she is. She credits her family for the same because it is they who keep her humble enough, even after her great wins in the Olympics and other championships in the past. Currently focused on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in August, she has several other events lined up, preparing her for the final destination.
